Gliding among the tree tops and enjoying the landscape from a different angle is becoming one of the most entertaining activities around Pucon.

It consists of long zip lines that join the tree tops forming a high-rise circuit. On the wood platform built in the tree top there is a guider that receives people. They check the equipment and send them to the next platform. The glide is almost flying at a controlled speed, depending on the slope and the break that each person uses as they wish.

The varied offer includes 7 circuits. Among them is the zip line located in the San Luis sector off the international road, with a record length for South America of 11,150 feet (3400 m).

This tour lasts 1 ½ hours. It can be reached directly or through tourism agencies. Prices vary, starting at 18 thousand pesos per person. It includes equipment, guider, insurance, previous instruction and transport.

Agencies do 3 trips a day and the adventure is for a minimum of two people.

Physical demand is medium-low, and you need to be intrepid and ignore the heights (some platforms towering at up to 330 feet—100 m.) The speed reached is from 18 to 45 miles (30-70 km) per hour.

What to bring: Wind breaker, sun block, camera, comfortable clothes.
